All ISHL players must have identical Jerseys with the exception of teams listed below:
None
The exclusion reads:
The jerseys that these players are to have to be eligible to play will have to solid in like color and have the correct size # on it and doesn’t have to have a name. The # must be ironed or sewn on NO tape.
ISHL Uniform Rule:
All players must be in the correct uniform, that includes jersey and socks. ISHL Section T, 10 states the procedures that must be followed if a player does not have the correct jersey after that date. This section does not include socks, however, every attempt should be made to have all players on the team wearing the same uniform socks. Should a player not have the correct uniform socks for the game, than the player must wear socks that are very close in color to the team uniform sock.
There seems to be a rash of stupidity in the Varsity games. We have had more Game Misconducts in 2 weeks than we get in half a season.
Solution: Zero Tolerance for roughing calls and unsportsmanlike conduct. Stack the boxes if you have to. The players have to play the game and not create disturbances. Call them like this until told otherwise.
Make sure your first and last name is printed legibly on the score sheet. The team rep must be able to read the names on the sheet to enter game information in the league stats database.
ISHL Period Length
Remember 1st and 2nd are 12 minutes. 3rd period divide the actual time left and divide by 2. Round up if needed.
ISHL has the mercy rule. Any time there is a 6 goal differential the game goes to running time. Any time the goal differential is less than 6, revert to stop time.
Don't look too hard for infractions, they will stand out when they happen.
